Extended Author Profiles

Okay, I’m a bit further down the road. I created extra fields in PHPMyAdmin, on the SQL server.

For every category I wanted to add in the profile, a new field in the existing table wp_users.

In profile.php I call the fields, they appear. So far so good. (see previous post)

in registration-functions.php I added:

update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘street’, $user_address );

and so on… to the list of existing update_usermeta that already was there.

In that same file, a bit higher there’s an ‘if ( $update )’ section where I added:

user_address = ‘$user_address’ (and so on) before the WHERE ID = ‘$ID'”;

same file a bit below the previous rules I added it again where it says: $query = “INSERT INTO $wpdb->users

I added user_address and so on for every desired field

Then I also added to the VALUES section: ‘$user_address’ and so on for every desired field

In the file template-functions-author.php I added functions to call all fields created:

function get_the_author_address() {
global $authordata;
return $authordata->user_address;
}

function the_author_address() {
echo get_the_author_address();
}

and repeated that for every desired field.

It still doesn’t save the data I enter in the fields. What am I missing?

Anyone?
